KATHLEEN WYNNE - Former Associate Director of non-profit elections watchdog organization, Black Box Voting.org, when the organization was founded in 2004. Founded website HCPBnow.org. She has testified at numerous public hearings and has provided evidence to members of the U.S. Congress, the EAC, and other public bodies. Appeared on Lou Dobbs, Fox & Friends and on various radio shows throughout the country. Her videotaped evidence was used as the best evidence in the trial of two election officials in Ohio, who were convicted of felony charges during the 2004 Presidential Recount. Appeared with Bev Harris in Hacking Democracy. She is one of the experts who wrote chapter in the book, HACKED! High Tech Election Theft in America.
VICKIE KARP - PR Director, VoteRescue.org; National Chair - Coalition for Visible Ballots.org; served as a Board Member and as President of the Board for the non-profit elections watchdog organization, Black Box Voting.org; co-edited with Abbe Waldman DeLozier the book, HACKED! High Tech Election Theft in America; co-hosted the weekly radio show VoteRescue Radio with Karen Renick on We The People Radio Network Radio in Austin, Texas; has appeared on MSNBC and Austin TV news channels and various radio shows throughout the country.
Now for the disclaimer part. The recent two-part series on Bev Harris and Black Box Voting was to serve as a historical and foundational context on the issue of electronic voting machines as explored in the HBO documentary, "Hacking Democracy." As is the case with most organizations and the people who represent them, there are some who disagree with where Bev Harris wants to go, and with some of her methods (as I understand it). That is for each person to decide on their own, in my opinion. And, there is disagreement within the various organizations devoted to the issue of how our votes should be counted to ensure the validity and sanctity of those votes. Those are just the kinds of issues we want to discuss during our Live Chat.
Following our last Live Chat on May 20th, Kathleen Wynne will provide a wrap up of the issue from the perspective of her organization, Hand Count Paper Ballots Now. Please watch this space for that informative post and ways in which we can take back the power of the vote.
We had a very lively discussion last week, and I expect more of the same this week, too. Please come join us!
